• SQL Server Group Case Sensitive

  It appears that table grouping is case sensitive (for example, Re-Roof versus Re-roof appears to be causing a group break). I can't find a parameter to change this behaviour in Reporting Services. Can anyone verify that it is in fact case sensitive How to change I am running SQL Server 2000 and the database that I am querying is not case sensitive. Teo is regarding case-sensitiveness. The main reason is how the ReportObjectModel works and that making scope names case-insensitive would have a negative overall performance impact. -- Robert ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System 'Custom' parameters in queries

  Hello, Is there a way to add a custom parameter to a query so it will be prompted to the user when he/she double-click the query to open it. To give you more details, we are looking for creating a query that will accept a list of work item IDs and return all the issues that matches these IDs.

• Visual Studio Express Editions C++ express edition 2005 Error running debug

  Hello, I just installed the visual C++ 2005 beta and I made a basic C++ program. But when I got to debug it, it says the system cannot find the path specified. All I did to make this program was go file>new>project and then file>new>file>visual C++>C++ file and typed my code into that. It is just a very basic cout program that I made as a test to make sure I installed correctly and everything. But it looks like I did something wrong and I'm not sure what. Thanks. Yes it is.

• .NET Development convert string to type

  Hello, lets say I have a class named Myclass in my program and I want to create an instance of this class during runtime but I know only name of the class. So I need first to convert string "Myclass" to type Myclass and then create an instance of class My class. How can I do that I know that I can use Gettype method to convert string to type but how do I then create instance of that type and call its methods and/or access methods Thanks You can either - Cast it to an instance of your object (if you know the type at design time) - Use reflection to get the methods/properties from the object and invoke them - Use the power of Visual Basic and use late binding (Option Strict Off) Best regards ...Show All

• .NET Development Delegate help?

  In a VB app... A system timer callback method is reading external hardware. The callback method generates data to be displayed on a win form, but the callback method writes to the form have no affect. I think it is because the callbacks are a diffferent thread( ) than what owns the form. I also think I need to create a delegate for the callback to use to access the form. I'm not a total newbie, but I don't understand the msdn docs on creating delegates. Can someone please get me started in the right direction Steve Yes, it is pretty simple really: avoid referring to a form instance by its type name. That was a VB6 anachronism that causes nothing but trouble in VB.NET. So: no longer Form1.S ...Show All
